I love making this easy holiday poinsettia with my kids. It's super easy and makes our room look so festive.
Materials:
Large, medium and small petal templates,
red,
pink, white, and green construction paper,
brad, glitter (optional) , single
hole punch tool
1. Make
enough leaf templates for students to share. I made the templates with tagboard or card stock. The thick paper is easier to trace around and should last for several holiday seasons.
2. Students
will choose to make a red, pink, or white poinsettia.
3. Each
poinsettia needs 3-5 small, 3-5 medium, and 3-5 large petals of the chosen color. The
flower also needs 3-5 large green petals. Students trace and cut out the leaves
they need for their flowers.
4. Punch a hole at the end of each petal.
5. Put
brad through each petal going from smallest to largest so the brad opening ends up at the back.
6. Spread out the leaves
7. You can add a few dots of white glue and then sprinkle on gold glitter. This step is optional.
These look beautiful displayed
around the room during the holiday season.

When we had a strong and loving family, we often did all sorts of crafts with the children. But after the betrayal of my husband and our divorce https://gaonlinedivorce.com, everything completely changed. Now my children and I rarely do things with our own hands.
